Now Sifter, on the other hand, has control over the scanning of the sample, and it also handles everything very smooth, easy and click-free. It, too, is almost perfect, but it doesn’t have pitch control…
A combination of both might be exactly what I want… I contacted the developer and he seems to like the idea… so maybe there might soon be an often requested and longed for “Morphagene for Rack” - or at least what I would wish for in such a device (will have to check again how exactly the Morphagene handles those things).
I think I confused Morphagene with Arbhar… well, you get the idea… I want a graintable synth/sampler. For regular sampling and slicing simpliciter is pretty much perfect already.
I don’t know… Nebulae2 seems to be more exactly what I would be hoping for in a granular sampler, from what I have seen about it… and the Path Set modules seem to come very close to that… I somehow assumed Arbhar and Morphagene were very similiar, but Morphagene apparently isn’t granular and Arbhar might have some additional tricks.
all this three are very different ! ( NEB2, Arbhar, Morphagene)
you can´t compare any of thses to the others.
The work you´d do, the way you´d work, will chnage, dependent which one you had in your hands. NEB2 is very straight forward in use, once learnt, and very musical from its outcome.
its for my taste the best sampler i ever had my hands on.
No (not because I wouldn’t want to, but it would not be possible). I’m just hoping the developer will add the playback speed and position controls that are found in Sifter to CheeseGrater, then it would be quite perfect in my opinion. It would then be very similar to Nebulae2. Right now CheeseGrater is more or less like Nebulae2 without the start and speed controls.
One module I would love to play with in VCV is a Benjolin.
I made my own version patching with the rungler by Hetrick, some VCOs and a multimode filter, but a compact version would be really fun IMO (for instance the one made by AfterLater : Benjolin V2).
I find the recent implementation, with CV and GATE Turing machine like extensions, really interesting to make it play with others ! That would fill a gap between Marble style and something more out-of-tune experimental CV generation, all-in-one fun module !
A fun one for 3 modules challenges too I am sure.
We really need more unique drum modules. Something like Pico Drums 2 by Erica with multiple switchable percussive synthesis modes and macro parameters would be a godsend for techno artists. I can imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to make, either- Pico2’s modes are somewhat basic like “pulse FM, parallel wavefolding, noise+sine, etc.”
Be prepared to hear the organ sound more often than you’d like, when you’re setting it up
What I wanted to say is “Be Warned” whenever you re-open a patch and touch the white knob on the pico drum it will turn into the organ, no matter what the sound was.
It would then be very similar to Nebulae2. Right now CheeseGrater is more or less like Nebulae2 without the start and speed controls.
